Vertiv MXT5120-VGA Concise Descriptor

Overview

The Vertiv MXT5120-VGA is a VGA matrix transmitter designed to extend analog video signals over standard CAT5e/CAT6 cabling. This device is essential for deploying video sources to remote displays in environments where running bulky coaxial cables is impractical, such as large office buildings, manufacturing floors, or digital signage networks. It ensures signal integrity for critical monitoring or presentation needs, allowing a single VGA source to be distributed to multiple receivers.

Compatibility

This transmitter is designed to work with the Vertiv MXT receiver units (sold separately) to form a complete point-to-point or point-to-multipoint VGA extension system. It is compatible with standard VGA resolutions up to 1920x1200 at 60Hz, making it suitable for a wide range of monitors and projectors. Ensure your receiver unit is a compatible MXT series model for proper signal reception and display.

Installation Notes

The MXT5120-VGA requires a standard VGA connection from the video source and a CAT5e/CAT6 cable run to the receiver unit. The maximum transmission distance is 1000 feet (305 meters) over quality cabling. Power is supplied via an external power adapter (included), which should be connected to the transmitter unit. Ensure proper termination of the CAT5e/CAT6 cable at both ends for optimal performance.
